"She's gone. She said she wants nothing more to do with me. But I saved a lock of her hair. She will be mine again..."
Still gives me shivers.

"I sit in my cubicle, here on the motherworld. When I die, they will put my body in a box and dispose of it in the cold ground. And in all the million ages to come, I will never breathe, or laugh, or twitch again. So won't you run and play with me here among the teeming mass of humanity? The universe has spared us this moment." -Anonymous, Datalinks (played when the player first constructs the hab dome building).
I always see this quote with this fresco: https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--rQuNLP71fA/UdonE8DAuAI/AAAAAAAAC...
I loved my chosen. How then to face the day when she left me? So I took from her body a single cell, perhaps to love her again.
Commissioner Pravin Lal, "Time of Bereavement"
I didn't consider until now that it might be a little ambiguous, but I'm pretty sure the implication is not that Lal's chosen broke up with him, but that she died. We sit together the mountain and I. Until only the mountain remains... But once, we were here."My son was asked to use the word prototype in a sentence. He said: 'people are a prototype'. I was too scared to ask what he meant."
